This may just be my favorite thing to make (and eat,lol) but it's not so friendly to the waistline. It's absolutely delish on scones and muffins. I use it to fill tarts, pour it warm over pound cake and even as a cake filling! Super versatile and makes a great addition to any welcome, or condolence basket. Hope you love it as much as we do.

lemins zested
lemon juice, fresh
unsalted butter, melted
Directions Step-By-Step
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave on high.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, beaten eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Slowly whisk into the hot melted butter until well combined.
Cook in the microwave for one minute intervals, stirring after each minute until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
Remove from heat. Strain the curd through a fine-mesh seive to remove all the white egg bits to ensure a perfectly smooth curd.
Cover by laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd (this prevents a skin from forming on the surface). The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
***********TIPS***********Do not skip mixing after the 1-minute intervals and do not let the lemon curd boil, as it can cause the mixture to curdle.
* Cold lemons are much easier to grate. Always grate your lemons first, and then juice them. Grate lemons just before using as the zest will lose moisture if it sits too long.
** Do not use the bottled lemon juice - only use fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Room temperature lemons produce more juice. Always use fresh lemons when making lemon curd.
*** Use good quality butter. Do not use butter substitutes.
**** DO NOT store in a metal bowl, it will react with the acid in the lemons, discoloring the curd and giving it a metallic flavor.

Comments about Beef:
I actually submitted a great review of this product the other day, however, my delivery just arrived today and I when I opened one of the cans of beef, it looked really dry and mealy and had a weird smell. I usually buy this same Newman's beef food from a local pet store, and it is totally different. I decided to buy it from Wag this time... It was definitely "off" as were the next couple of cans I checked in the shipment. My other flavors of Newman's food were fine, but the beef was not the usual quality, and I will not feed it to my cats, I am returning it. So, I understand now why the other reviewer was not happy!
Best Uses
Comments about Beef:
I was surprised to see the other review, but I guess that just shows that different cats do have very different preferences. I have two indoor kitties just under a year old, and I feed them a combination of this and other Newman's Organics canned food daily (turkey veg / chicken salmon). They LOVE all of it, especially the beef. They prefer it to any other brand I've tried. I am very happy to know that it comes from free-range grass fed cows, and is nutritious.

Comments about Beef:
This food may be healthy but if your cat won't go near it its hard to recommend it. Both cats refuse to eat it. We also feed a stray outdoor cat who refuses the food,too. Would not recommend this product.

GeForce 9600 GSO 384 MB review | Point of View -
1 - Introduction
GeForce 9600 GSO 384 MB
Info: pointofview-online.com
Price: 89 EUR - 99 USD
The budget market is mean and fierce, and apparently a good spot for NVIDIA to be in because believe it or not, that lower and mid-range segment is really where the money is to be made in the graphics chipset industry. NVIDIA just released their GeForce 9600 GSO. Priced at less than 99 EUR and by doing so is offering a pretty dandy gaming experience at the sub 100 EUR price level. The product comes with that weird number again .. 384 MB of memory on an even more peculiar 192-bit wide memory bus. Does that ring a bell already ? Yes this definitely is a re-spun product based on the older G80 core. Rebadged, rebranded and stamped as a G92 placebo.
Now before you think otherwise, that info isn't intended to be negative, no Sir .. contrary, because I think we stumbled into the best value card sub 100 bucks costing product in a long time.
Hilbert, dude, bro, my man ... rebadged you said ? Correct Sir .. this card you have seen earlier last year as the GeForce 8800 GS. NVIDIA simply pulled a David Copperfield here: Shalakazim, shalazam .. and BAM. The GeForce series 8 card is now a GeForce series 9 product. Magic eh? NVIDIA now officially has got to have the most confusing product line ever.
Okay, so NVIDIA replaced the GeForce 8800 GS with the GeForce 9600 GSO. The 9600 GSO is still based on the same G92 core with 96 stream processors that the 8800 GS has, but NVIDIA gave card makers a bit more freedom in their designs in terms of own PCB design to and determine their own clocks. This 'old' card will still have 384 MB of GDDR3 memory over a weird 192-bit memory interface.
Cards like these will sell for less than 99 Euro, and considering the performance you get returned for that, you'll love it.
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO
- Bus Type: PCI Express
- Memory: 384MB GDDR3
- Core Clock: 550 MHz
- Memory Clock: 1600 MHz
- Shader Model: 4.0
- Connectors: 2 Dual-Link DVI-I, HDTV + TV Out
- HDCP Enabled: Yes
Above you can see the specifications of the product as tested today from the blokes over at Point of View.
We can expect several variants of cards with different types of cooling coming up to be branded as Overclocked Editions. Point of View's version is clocked at a 550 Mhz core clock, 1600 MHz memory clock (effective) and 1350 MHz shader domain clock frequency with is 96 shader cores.

Skipper, Robert (2002) The Persistence of the R.A. Fisher-Sewall Wright Controversy. [Preprint]
| PDF Download (272Kb) | Preview |
This paper considers recent heated debates led by Jerry A. Coyne and Michael J. Wade on issues stemming from the 1929-1962 R. A. Fisher-Sewall Wright controversy in population genetics. William B. Provine once remarked that the Fisher-Wright controversy is central, fundamental, and very influential. Indeed, it is also persistent. The argumentative structure of the recent (1997-2000) debates is analyzed with the aim of eliminating a logical conflict in them, viz., that the two "sides" in the debates have different aims and that, as such, they are talking past each other. Given a philosophical analysis of the argumentative structure of the debates, suggestions supportive of Wade's work on the debate are made that are aimed, modestly, at putting the persistent Fisher-Wright controversy on the course to resolution.

12 startup founders offer their best productivity hacks to help you get more done
I used to think I was a very busy person until I became a startup founder. Working on Galilea3, the multilingual platform for freelancers, means I have to wear even more hats. After more than a year of managing people, working on SEO, product development, customer acquisition, blogging to build a presence online, networking with other startup owners, etc. its becoming almost impossible to manage all activities that need my attention.
I know I should delegate, outsource and forget about the superhero syndrome, as Pat Flynn of the famous smart passive income blog, calls it. Try hard as I may, I still find myself lagging behind on some of the things I need to get done. So I decided to talk to other startup founders, who are as busy as I am, but are still managing to get awesome products and services created. I asked them to share their best productivity hacks that enable them to keep moving forward and this is what they had to say. These guys are super-efficient so pay attention as you will learn some clever tactics to improve your productivity.

Edmund Blunden
Biography of Edmund Blunden
Edmund Charles Blunden was an English poet, author and critic. Like his friend Siegfried Sassoon, he wrote of his experiences in World War I in both verse and prose. For most of his career, Blunden was also a reviewer for English publications and an academic in Tokyo and later Hong Kong. He ended his career as Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford.
Early Years and WWI
Edmund Charles Blunden was born in London in 1896, moving with his family to Kent shortly afterwards. He was educated at Christ's Hospital and Queen's College, Oxford. Blunden was commissioned into the Royal Sussex Regiment in 1915 and served in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1919, fighting on the Somme and at Ypres. He was awarded the Military Cross.
Career as a Writer
In 1920 his collection of poetry The Waggoner was published after he sent a privately printed collection of verse to the then Literary Editor of The Daily Herald, Siegfried Sassoon. Sassoon had immediately realised Blunden's abilities and wrote him an encouraging letter, starting a lifelong friendship between the two cricket-playing poets. In 1922 Blunden's The Shepherd followed, winning him the Hawthorden Prize. The Shepherd included poems from five previously privately printed collections published between 1914 and 1916. In 1928 Blunden published his chronicle of the First World War, Undertones of War, which gained him a wide reputation that was further enhanced by his collection The Poems of Edmund Blunden 1914-1930 published in 1930.
Edmund Blunden is largely underestimated today as a war poet, mainly because the work of other poets such as Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg and Siegfried Sassoon has eclipsed that of Blunden. It is ironic that it was Blunden's edition of Owen's poetry (published in 1931) which aroused the public interest in Owen which has never died since.
Further irony is to be found in that fact that Blunden took over the editing of Owen's poems after Siegfried Sassoon found he was still too upset over the death of his friend and fellow Craiglockhartian poet to continue. Blunden's own war poems are far more restrained than those of either Owen or Sassoon, but Blunden's hatred of the war and his grief for the war's dead, were just as intense as that of Owen or Sassoon. Blunden commemorated the dead in a passionately lyrical elegy, Their Very Memory. He also expressed his dismay at the destruction of the French countryside in his poetry, a theme missing from the poetry of either Owen or Sassoon (the latter preferring to glory in the beauty of the English countryside when he wasn't describing life in the trenches).
Blunden was also unusual amongst the war poets for acknowledging that even amidst the senseless slaughter there could be, and were, moments of happiness. His poem At Senlis Once is a celebration of a brief interval of rest and refreshment, whilst Concert Party : Busseboom recalls an hour of innocent entertainment.
Blunden, like Sassoon, wrote poems about the English countryside; it was Blunden's description of a Kentish barn that had alerted Sassoon to Blunden's talent. His poems about the English countryside are often considered his finest; they have been described as combining "a formal, at times, archaic utterance with an exact portrayal of the scene, a delicacy of perception, and an air of unease and foreboding." Blunden's poems feature alms-women, lovers, village forefathers, midnight skaters and even a cornered weasel in Winter : East Anglia.
Between the wars Blunden earned his living as a literary journalist, as a Professor of English Literature at Tokyo University from 1924-27 (succeeding Robert Nichols), and as a fellow and tutor of English at Merton College, Oxford from 1931-43. During the ten years following the outbreak of the Second World War Blunden published three volumes of poetry : Poems 1930-1940 (1940) shows traces of his continuing preoccupation with the conflict of 1914-18. Although in the Preface he denies "morbidly wishing to go back that road" he yet acknowledges "that tremendous time does not easily give up its hold". Shells by a Stream (1944) and After Bombing (1949) reflect his sombre thoughts about the darkness of the age, although these are lightened by his hope of renewal and his belief in traditional values.
After leaving Merton, Blunden worked for the Times Literary Supplement before he joined the UK Liaison Mission in Tokyo in 1948. In 1950 he began a second stint at the TLS before being appointed Emeritus professor of English Literature at Hong Kong University in 1953. He won the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1956, and returned to England in the early 1960s.
Blunden's last two collections of poetry were A Hong Kong House : Poems 1951-1962 (1962) and Eleven Poems (1965). He was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford in 1966, but he was forced, by ill health, to resign in 1968. His final years were spent with his third wife, Claire and their four daughters in the village of Long Melford, Suffolk. There in 1966 he wrote a guide to its magnificent parish church.
Much of Blunden's time was devoted to editing and writing biography and criticism. He edited volumes of poetry by John Clare in 1920 (with Alan Porter), and of Ivor Gurney in 1954 - rendering them the same service he had previously rendered Wilfred Owen in 1931 - that of bringing their poetry to a wider audience. His most important studies were of minor and major writers of the late-seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, reserving a particular affection for Shelley, Keats, Lamb, Leigh Hunt and their friends, and among later writers for Thomas Hardy.
Blunden is, however, better known for his poetry and Undertones of War. In the preface to his 1930 collection of poetry Blunden spoke of the Great War as an experience so early in his life "as to mould and colour the poetry throughout the book". In fact, as with so many other poets of the First World War, the conflict continued to colour his work throughout his life. His other major theme was the one he shared with the early Siegfried Sassoon, the English countryside in which he was born and to which he returned after his journeyings were over.
Edmund Blunden died in 1974.
Personal Life
Blunden was married three times. While still in the army he met and married Mary Daines in 1918. They had three children, the first of whom died in infancy. They divorced in 1931, and in 1933 Blunden married Sylva Norman, a young novelist and critic. That marriage, which was childless, was dissolved in 1945, and in the same year he married Claire Margaret Poynting, a former pupil of his; they had four daughters. Blunden then met Aki Hayashi in Japan, and Aki moved to England with Blunden. The relation later changed from a partner to a friend, but they remained in contact for the rest of her life.
Blunden's love of cricket, celebrated in his book Cricket Country, is described by the biographer Philip Ziegler as fanatical. Blunden and his friend Rupert Hart-Davis regularly opened the batting for a publisher's eleven in the 1930s (Blunden insisted on batting without gloves).An affectionate obituary tribute in The Guardian commented, "He loved cricket ... and played it ardently and very badly", while in a review of Cricket Country, George Orwell described him as "the true cricketer":
The test of a true cricketer is that he shall prefer village cricket to 'good' cricket [.... Blunden's] friendliest memories are of the informal village game, where everyone plays in braces, where the blacksmith is liable to be called away in mid-innings on an urgent job, and sometimes, about the time when the light begins to fail, a ball driven for four kills a rabbit on the boundary.
In a 2009 appreciation of the book and its author, Bangalore writer Suresh Menon writes,
Any cricket book that talks easily of Henry James and Siegfried Sassoon and Ranji and Grace and Richard Burton (the writer, not the actor) and Coleridge is bound to have a special charm of its own. As Blunden says, "The game which made me write at all, is not terminated at the boundary, but is reflected beyond, is echoed and varied out there among the gardens and the barns, the dells and the thickets, and belongs to some wider field."
Perhaps that is what all books on cricket are trying to say.
Blunden had a robust sense of humour. In Hong Kong he relished linguistic misunderstandings such as those of the restaurant that offered "fried prawn's balls" and the schoolboy who wrote, "In Hong Kong there is a queer at every bus-stop."
His fellow poets' regard for Blunden was illustrated by the contributions to a dinner in his honour for which poems were specially written by Cecil Day-Lewis and William Plomer; T. S. Eliot and Walter de la Mare were guests; and Siegfried Sassoon provided the Burgundy.

Edmund Blunden Poems
Preparations For Victory
My soul, dread not the pestilence that hags The valley; flinch not you, my body young. At these great shouting smokes and snarling jags Of fiery iron; as yet may not be flung -
Report On Experience
I have been young, and now am not too old; And I have seen the righteous forsaken, His health, his honour and his quality taken. This is not what we were formerly told. -
1916 Seen From 1921
Tired with dull grief, grown old before my day, I sit in solitude and only hear Long silent laughters, murmurings of dismay, The lost intensities of hope and fear; -
The Survival
To-day's house makes to-morrow's road; I knew these heaps of stone When they were walls of grace and might, The country's honour, art's delight -
The Midnight Skaters
The hop-poles stand in cones, The icy pond lurks under, The pole-tops steeple to the thrones Of stars, sound gulfs of wonder; -
Here they went with smock and crook, Toiled in the sun, lolled in the shade, Here they mudded out the brook And here their hatchet cleared the glade: -
So there's my year, the twelvemonth duly told Since last I climbed this brow and gloated round Upon the lands heaped with their wheaten gold, And now again they spread with wealth imbrowned - -
At Senlis Once
how comely it was and how reviving, When with clay and with death no longer striving Down firm roads we came to houses With women chattering and green grass thriving. -
Premature Rejoicing
What's that over there? Thiepval Wood. -
Chinese Paper Knife
For the first time ever, and only now (Long waiting where I should see) The tiny carved bird, the bony bough Start sharp into life for me. -
The Watchers
I heard the challenge 'Who goes there?' Close kept but mine through midnight air I answered and was recognized -
The Child's Grave
I came to the churchyard where pretty Joy lies On a morning in April, a rare sunny day; Such bloom rose around, and so many birds' cries -
Can You Remember?
Yes, I still remember The whole thing in a way; Edge and exactitude Depend on the day. -
Perch Fishing
On the far hill the cloud of thunder grew And sunlight blurred below; but sultry blue Burned yet on the valley water where it hoards
To Joy
Is not this enough for moan
To see this babe all motherless -
A babe beloved - thrust out alone
Upon death's wilderness?
Out tears fall, fall, fall - I would weep
My blood away to make her warm,
Who never went on earth one step,
Nor heard the breath of the storm.
How shall you go, my little child,

Rahim, A.H.M.A. (2006) Fuzzy STATCOM Control Strategies for Power System Stabilization. ICGST International Journal on Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, ACSE, 6 (2). pp. 41-48.
| PDF 53Kb |
Fuzzy logic control of static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) to improve the damping of a power system is presented. The development of the fuzzy strategy starts through a simple single machine power system and then extended to a multi-machine system. The damping characteristics of the multimachine power system were also investigated with multiple STATCOMs in the system. Only variables local to each STATCOM were used as the input to the controllers. The proposed fuzzy strategy was found to damp the transients of the single machine as well as multi-machine systems effectively for wide ranges of operation.

Big data
The world produces a hell of a lot of waste and a great part of it is food waste. According to the United Nations Environment Program, around one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year is either lost or wasted. In an effort to deal with all this waste in a green way, New York-based BioHitech has developed a device that breaks food waste down into grey water and connects to a cloud system to allow the company to tap the power of big data to monitor and improve the performance of the units.

Do the largest structures in the Universe actually exist?
Our knowledge of the large-scale structure of the Universe is gradually taking shape. However, our improved vision is mostly being statistically squeezed from huge data sets. Working backward from a statistical analysis to a putative fact about the (singular) Universe, to which statistics do not apply on a cosmological scale, is a dicey business. A case in point is a recent look at the biggest known structures in the Universe – large quasar groups. Read More

Thai Shorts Test
I did not participate in this years test at my gym, but being a spectator it looked brutal. Even the most in shape guys can't really pull through it as well as they would like.
At my gym this time there were 3 people testing. Only 2 lasted the whole thing as one guy (the biggest) had no cardio and took the whole ordeal lightly. If I want to get my Thia shorts next year or the end of this year I know I will have to start getting to work and really train my hardest. Watching that test was definitly a big motivator. If you have ever taken the test tell us what you think. |
what exactly is a thai shorts test?
Basically it's to say that your training is progressing well. In my gym I think that if you get your Thai shorts its like your half-way to becoming a certified instructor under Joe Diamond and Sakasem.
im confused are you sparring or something?

Countervailing power and consumer prices
UNSPECIFIED. (1997) Countervailing power and consumer prices. ECONOMIC JOURNAL, 107 (441). pp. 418-430. ISSN 0013-0133
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper considers the importance of countervailing power, manifested as the effects of increased retail concentration on consumer prices and welfare within a market setting where imperfectly competitive retailers negotiate intermediate prices with a monopoly supplier. Only when retailer services are regarded as very dose substitutes do final prices fall Following a reduction in the number of retailers. Even in there circumstances, the social benefits of countervailing power may not be realised as the supplier may seek to protect its profits by using a refusal to supply restraint to engage in exclusive trading.

CDC Releases New Anti-Smoking Campaign
April 3, 2013
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has once again released a multi-media, multi-million dollar advertising campaign designed to encourage people to quit smoking, or never start. The ads feature emotional stories from real people whose lives have been deeply affected by tobacco. Parts of the campaign also target groups in which smoking rates are particularly high: Native Americans and the LGBT community.

Posted April 26, 2012 Status Update: 2011 (Revised) Proposal For Class C Airspace Designation Surrounding Long Beach Airport Overview In 2010, the FAA proposed a revision to LGB airspace (the "2010 LGB Proposal"). The City hired Williams Aviation Consultants (WAC) to study the issue. WAC concluded that the 2010 LGB Proposal, if passed, would have had serious unintended noise and safety concerns for Rancho Palos Verdes and South Bay residents. The City submitted a Technical Comments letters to the FAA on September 30, 2010 outlining the City's objections and concerns. Other cities and members of the community also provided comment letters as well. In 2011 staff became aware of a revised 2011 LGB airspace proposal (the "2011 LGB Proposal"). WAC analyzed the new proposal and concluded that there were significant improvements and modifications to the "2010 LGB Proposal" that addressed the City's concerns and Technical Comments expressed in 2010. WAC opined that the City's pro-active effort in 2010 as well as the unified comments provided by a number of South Bay cities, concerned residents and businesses led to the FAA's decision to significantly modify the "2010 LGB Proposal". The City Council authorized staff to sent a comment letter and WAC's Technical Analysis of the "2011 LGB Proposal" to the FAA on October 4, 2011.
Update, April 25, 2012
Staff attended two FAA public meetings on the "2011 LGB Proposal" on October 25 and 26, 2011. The majority of speakers at the meetings were Long Beach residents and general aviation pilots who were opposed to any change of LGB's airspace. FAA representatives recently informed staff that the FAA would do an internal analysis of the "2011 LGB Proposal", taking into account all public comments. At the end of that analysis, the FAA would then proceed with one of three options: 1) move forward with a notice of public rule making (NPRM); 2) withdraw the proposal; or 3) perform more analysis and seek out additional public input. WAC's studied opinion is that the "2011 LGB Proposal" will move forward with only minor revisions. Staff presented an update to City Council on December 20, 2011click here for staff report. There is no further action at this time. The FAA's analysis is expected to last a minimum of six months. Staff will continue to monitor this issue closely and will update the Council and the City's residents on any significant developments.
Posted September 30, 2011
Staff recently received word of upcoming FAA public meetings in October regarding the revised proposal to create a Class C airspace surrounding LGB (the "2011 LGB Class C Proposal"). WAC reviewed the 2011 LGB Class C Proposal and advised Staff that they believe that the City's pro-active effort in 2010, including the submission of the City's Technical Comments letter, as well as the unified comments provided by a number of South Bay cities, concerned residents and businesses led to the FAA's decision to significantly modify the 2010 proposal. Staff and WAC reviewed the 2011 LGB Class C Proposal shown below in Figure 3.
WAC performed a Technical Analysis (Click here to view the entire report) that summarized its findings as follows:
"The 2011 LGB Class C proposal appears to make numerous changes in response to the public comments received on the 2010 proposal. Many of the impact issues identified by WAC in the analysis of the 2010 proposal are resolved or significantly reduced by the 2011 design."
Staff will present a staff report to the City Council on October 4, 2011 (Click here to view the staff report) that will be accompanied with the Technical Analysis prepared by Williams Aviation Consultants (Click here to view the entire report), as well as a draft comment letter to the FAA. Comments made be sent directly to the FAA as on or before December 12, 2011 as follows:
John Warner, Operations Support Group, AJV-W2 Western Service Area, Air Traffic Organization Federal Aviation Administration 1601 Lind Avenue, SW Renton, WA 98057 Subject: Proposed Long Beach Airport (LGB) Class C Airspace FR Doc 2011-21424 Filed 8-22-11; 8:45am
Or you may submit your comments to email@example.com. and the City will timely forward them on to the FAA. City of Rancho Palos Verdes Staff expects to provide additional information about this important issue using its Aircraft Noise listserver group (http://pvalert.com/listserver/) and its website: (http://www.palosverdes.com/rpv) as more information becomes available.
Posted August 8, 2011 UPDATE - PROPOSED CLASS C AIRSPACE DESIGNATION SURROUNDING LONG BEACH AIRPORT POTENTIAL IMPACT ON RANCHO PALOS VERDES Background: In 2010 the City of Rancho Palos Verdes became aware that the FAA was considering establishing a significantly more restrictive airspace surrounding Long Beach Airport ("LGB") based upon reported concerns about safety. The FAA's proposed LGB Class C airspace would be about 3 times larger than the existing Class D airspace. While passenger safety is of the upmost importance, the City Council, Staff, and the City's aviation consultants are extremely concerned about the "unintended consequences" that could be experienced by the City and neighboring South Bay coastal communities, including:
The Rancho Palos Verdes City Attorney submitted a technical comments letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) addressing the FAA's proposal to change the airspace around Long Beach Airport (LGB) on September 30, 2010. The letter requested that the FAA conduct a complete analysis of the potential impacts of the proposal before any change is made to the airspace designation around LGB. Citing the limited information currently available, concerns regarding the potential unintended consequences regarding air safety, and the FAA's failure to undertake the necessary environmental review process, the City requested that the FAA complete the following in its letter:
In addition to the Technical Comments Letter, the City also submitted a letter from the Mayor on behalf of the City Council expressing concerns about safety and adverse environmental impacts should the proposal be implemented and all of the public comments received from officials, business leaders and residents of Rancho Palos Verdes and other South Bay cities. Comment letters were submitted by 6 other South Bay cities to the FAA expressing concern. These cities were Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Torrance. Update: The City's aviation consultant, Tom Kamman of Williams Aviation Consulting, advised the City to continue monitoring the FAA's actions regarding the proposed airspace change, but refrain from engaging in a dialogue at this time. Mr. Kamman believes that the substantial opposition expressed by the seven South bay cities, especially RPV, may have caused the FAA to decide not to move forward at this time. The FAA is reportedly beginning to launch a project to redesign the entire airspace in Southern California. Conceptually, the redesign of Sothern California airspace is long overdue. However, it may cause unfavorable noise impacts through-out the entire region, including the City. Several recent personnel changes within the FAA, as well as the reduction of the FAA talent pool in Southern California, should cause the City to carefully watch the FAA's next steps. Staff has heard some chatter from sources in the aviation community in recent months about the possibility that the proposed designation change may be gathering momentum. Nothing has been confirmed at this time. Staff, with the assistance of its aviation consultant, will continue to monitor this situation closely. More Information City of Rancho Palos Verdes Staff expects to provide additional information about this important issue using its Aircraft Noise listserver group (http://pvalert.com/listserver/) and its website (http://www.palosverdes.com/rpv) as more information becomes available. The public is encouraged to join the listserver group or check the City's website for the most current information regarding this issue. The public is encouraged to let the City know their thoughts and concerns regarding this and other Peninsula airspace issues at firstname.lastname@example.com. . Long Beach Airport Noise Complaints:
Contacting Rancho Palos Verdes Staff
While the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has no direct authority over airspace, City staff takes airspace safety and noise impacts on our residents very seriously. The public is encouraged to let the City know their thoughts and concerns regarding Peninsula airspace issues.

Posted October 4, 2010
On Thursday, September 30, 2010, the Rancho Palos Verdes City Attorney submitted a technical comments letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) addressing the FAA's current proposal to change the airspace around Long Beach Airport (LGB). Drawing mainly from the Technical Analysis Report completed by Williams Aviation Consultants (WAC), the letter requested that the FAA conduct a complete analysis of the potential impacts of the proposal before any change is made to the airspace designation around LGB.
Citing the limited information currently available, concerns regarding the potential unintended consequences regarding air safety, and the FAA's failure to undertake the necessary environmental review process, the City requested that the FAA complete the following in its letter:
In addition to the Technical Comments Letter, the City also submitted the following to the FAA last week:
Comment letters were submitted by 6 other South Bay cities to the FAA expressing concern. These cities were Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Torrance.
To view the City's Technical Comments Letter and WAC's Technical Analysis Report, please click the appropriate links at the top of this page.
Posted September 3, 2010 City Staff is working with its aviation consultant and the community to collect additional technical information to be timely presented to the FAA. At its meeting on August 17, 2010, the City Council unanimously approved a budget adjustment to pay for the cost of services rendered by the City's consultant. The appropriation of additional funds further demonstrates the City's commitment to providing timely comments to the FAA with the goal of developing a solution that will be in the best interest of the City's residents, including the tourism community. In its September 7th staff report entitled "Potential Impact Resulting from Proposed Class C Airspace Designation Surrounding the Long Beach Airport" (click here), City Staff provides an overview of the potential impact of the proposed change on Rancho Palos Verdes and its neighboring South Bay cities. This staff report includes a summary of information reported by the City's consultant, Williams Aviation Consultants, in the Potential Impact Statement (click here) it published on September 2, 2010. City Staff has also developed a "Questions and Answers" document to help the public better understand the impact of this proposed change (click here). Furthermore, Staff has developed a template public comment letter for individuals to use if they are interested in expressing their concern about the change to the FAA (click here for the template letter). Staff strongly encourages users of this template to personalize their letter to the FAA.
Clark Desing, Operations Support Group, AJV-W2 Western Service Area, Air Traffic Organization Federal Aviation Administration 1601 Lind Avenue, SW Renton, WA 98057
Based upon the advice of the City's aviation consultant, a copy of all public comments should also be sent concurrently to:
William C. Withycombe Western-Pacific Region Regional Administrator Federal Aviation Administration P.O. Box 92007 Los Angeles, CA 90009-2007
Posted August 18, 2010 The Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") is considering a proposal to change the airspace designation surrounding Long Beach Airport (LGB) from its current Class D designation to a more restricted Class C designation. If the airspace change occurs, all aircraft will be required to contact Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control Center "TRACON", also known as "SCT", for authorization prior to entering the LGB Class C airspace. The current LGB Class D airspace (click here to view a map of the current Class D airspace) is a radius of about 5 miles surrounding the airport and does not reach the 110 Freeway or extend beyond the shoreline in the Long Beach/Los Angeles Harbor area. However, the proposed Class C airspace would extend north to the 91 Freeway corridor, west to the 110 Freeway corridor and 5-10 miles south beyond the ocean shoreline and wrap around the coastline down towards Costa Mesa (click here to view a map of the proposed Class C airspace). The FAAS's proposed LGB Class C airspace would be about 3 times larger than the existing Class D airspace. Concern has been raised that the proposed LGB airspace change will "push" a greater number of instructional, testing and practice aircraft flights from the designated Long Beach/Los Angeles Harbor Flight training Area into the Palos Verdes Flight Training and Practice Area along the Palos Verdes Peninsula coastline. This concern stems from belief that general aviation aircraft may elect to fly west of the 110 Freeway along the eastern ridge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in order to avoid the requirement of obtaining authorization from SCT air traffic controllers before entering the LGB airspace. Furthermore, there is concern that flights departing from Torrance Airport and arriving to the coastal Palos Verdes Flight Training and Practice Area will increase general aviation traffic over both the north side of Palos Verdes Estates and the Hollywood Riviera area of Redondo Beach. The City's aviation consultant has expressed a similar first impression. The Los Angeles basin is considered one of the most complex air spaces in the country regarding the management of air traffic. The commercial aircraft industry segment (i.e. passenger airlines and freight carriers) might be expected to support the airspace change citing improved air safety, especially passenger safety. The general aviation aircraft community (i.e. flight schools, flying clubs and small businesses) might be expected to oppose the proposed airspace change citing the reasons to not enter Class C airspace and its unfavorable impact on flight schools, limiting general aviation use and safety. The possible impact on the quality of life of the City's residents and tourism community may result from the possible increase of aircraft noise and the risks resulting from aircraft compression - more general aviation aircraft flying in a defined area are important considerations for the City. Of course, maintaining air flight safety in Southern California is of the upmost importance. The FAA conducted meetings on June 22, 2010 and June 23, 2010 to gather facts and public comments pursuant to the regulatory process that could possibly lead to an airspace change surrounding LGB. The FAA will consider the comments prior to making a decision whether to move forward with the proposed LGB airspace change. If the FAA decides to move forward, the process will include the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, followed by a public comment process prior to a final decision to change the LGB airspace. The process could take up to a couple years before any rulemaking is finalized.
The City plans to continue to use its web site and Airport Noise listserver group to provide updates regarding the FAA's LGB airspace proposal. To join the listserver group, please visit http://pvalert.com/listserver/

Hello, I'm a teacher (primary school, higher classes) in Holland. I really love to draw and catch moments in pictures. Each subject I want to draw is a new adventure: how to give shape, colour, shadings, textures...
I learn a lot from everyone here :-)
Amazing what people can draw!!!
My son is also on this site : http://www.ratemydrawings.com/user/wytzer/ check him out as well :-)
Ooh wow i adore your gallery And you live in the Netherlands 8D!!.Your son is also a good drawer.I adore both your draws very good.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Very nice to "meet" someone in my age group!!! I LOVE your artwork! It is amazing!!! 5/5!!!
Thankyou so much Jokkio for your Birthday Wishes,,Hugs..and hope you draw more soon :)..
congratulations on winning the 'judges favourite' prize in my comp - i loved your drawing from the very start, and it was (obviously) my favourite of all the entries, so well done!
hoi! ik woon ook in nederland i hou van uw tekeningen!!! ze zijn zo origineel! mijn naam is isabelle. een groot fan!
First of all I got to say, though you probably hear this often, that you got some insane talent there. :) Your whole gallery is full of magnificent works of art. There's nothing that can beat such combination of imagination and skill ^^ Keep it up!
Your "Ouch" drawing is fascinating! It makes me cringe but at the same time I love it! I can't stop looking at it but I can just.. feel the pain! You're a wonderful artist if you can draw out people's emotions with art like that. :)
My phases don't usually last months, but I sure do understand times where I'm lacking inspiration or motivation to draw. I'm just happy to see you drawing when the mood hits :)

Title: | Sessile Invertebrate Colonization of a Coral Patch Reef: A Study of Two Reefs in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii |
Author: | Lewis, Clark R |
Date: | 1980-08-01 |
Publisher: | Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, Illinois |
Citation: | Lewis, Clark R. Sessile Invertebrate Colonization of a Coral Patch Reef: A Study of Two Reefs in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Dekalb, Illinois: Northern Illinois University, 1980. |
Abstract: | Marine invertebrate colonization for a complete annual cycle was
examined on two coral patch reefs in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. Polyvinyl chloride panels provided the substratum for settlement and their placement on the reefs was along windward to leeward (upstream to downstream) transects. Counts of individual organisms and area covered by colonies provided data for site by site and inter-reef comparisons of temporal and spatial colonization trends. Over 80% of the total invertebrate settlements could be ascribed to five taxonomic groups: oysters, barnacles, serpulid worms, bryozoans, and tunicates. The patterns of colonization exhibited by these five groups are analyzed and discussed in detail. The greatest numbers of new settlements consistently occurred at the shallow windward site of each reef, whereas the least amount of colonization took place in the middle of the study reefs. These colonization phenomena are discussed with respect to the influence of various physical and biological factors. Five months into the study, all of the fishes were removed from the smaller of the two patch reefs, providing at least temporarily, a means of examining the effects of fish on invertebrate colonization. Visual transects were used prior to and after fish removal to assess the resident fish population. Due to the rapid recolonization of the reef, particularly by dominant herbivores, major effects on invertebrate colonization patterns were not detected. |

Field to Fork: Chef Matt Murphy at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
New Orleans, LA –
Hi, this is Richard McCarthy with the WWNO Farmers Market Minute If you patronize our region's farmers markets, you'll often notice the presence of restaurant chefs in their check pants and white tunics. Increasingly, they're designing menus around what's in season. We're also noticing how they're redesigning their kitchens. The Ritz-Carlton's heroic chef Matt Murphy has redesigned his kitchen's waste regime to work with his farmers. Not only does he bring sacks of empty strawberry cartons to Johndale Farms, but his chefs separate out food scraps for Northshore farmer Nick Usner - one of the up and coming young agricultural innovators. Each week, Nick picks up buckets of scrap for compost on his vegetable farm. Apparently, corporate headquarters is now seeking guidance from Matt Murphy as to how they can set up similar systems in their other properties. So, next time you're at market, strike up a conversation with a chef. They're changing the world one kitchen at a time. For the Farmers Market Minute, this is Richard McCarthy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30, 2006 – Chris Hirschfeld is a volunteer who understands that strength lies in numbers. He also knows that good leaders today are invaluable, because they influence the leaders of tomorrow. His father got him involved in Ducks Unlimited at an early age, and now Hirschfeld is committed to involving others in the conservation mission of DU.
"Giving back to the community and enjoying one's involvement should not be mutually exclusive activities," said Hirschfeld. "Some of my best friends are people I met volunteering with DU. We try to make sure all our volunteers have fun while raising money for the wetlands."
Being passionate about the work he does as a volunteer makes it easier to stay involved, he says. "I love the outdoors and the money we raise restores wetlands that anyone can enjoy."
He also believes that future volunteer leaders for DU must be cultivated in each chapter. "It's important to have a succession plan for each chapter so we'll have future ranks of volunteers to assume leadership positions," said Hirschfeld. "My role is to support them, recruit more volunteers and sponsors, and nurture those leaders so they can play a bigger role in DU."
Hirschfeld was inspired to take a prominent leadership role in Indianapolis after meeting former DU president, John Tomke, who is now chairman of the board. Tomke, who lives in the area, and Hirschfeld talked conservation over breakfast.
"I was honored that the president lived in our home town," said Hirschfeld. "He came to our first banquet and went out of his way to support us."
Hirschfeld has returned that support in his willingness to assume leadership positions, but he finds it easy to stay involved in DU because he is passionate about the cause. His philosophy is that "we want volunteers to enjoy what they do."

"I like the shoe and the thicker heel is definitely a plus. However, the material isn't the best quality and the sides of the shoe near the toe hurt after wearing only a couple of minutes."
May 05, 2014
Cute shoe!
"Such a cute looking shoe and I foresee it being super comfy! Can't wait to wear them to work."
March 27, 2014
Go a size small...
"So I ordered these because of the simple and professional look. Yet, they were really big. I'm around an 8/8.5. Got the 8.5 and they were massive. I think I may have even been able to go as low as a 7.5 in these. I'm returning them, don't plan on exchanging though because the toe is way shorter than it looked in the picture. If you like that, seems like it would be a great shoe, just be sure to go half a size or even a full size down."

Well, I usually stuff my eggs in the PC, but in HeartGold, I raised my togepi to a togekiss, and in White I caught the Volcarona from the ruins in the desert, and I already have a typhlosion named MAKO as my main fire type (as well as a mudkip named KORRA and serperior named BOLIN). I usually hatch baby pokemon for trade.

All Eeveelutions are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Banner made by me! I have officially claimed Minccino on the 13-11-12
Want a baby Pokemon or an Eevee? Here's my FC (I like shinies)1249-7189-3936
I hatch them and, unless it's a Pokemon that evolves via hapiness, I box them.
I hatch them of course! When I got my first game (white version), I was extremely surprised when I recieved my first pokemon egg. I thought the egg was set on a timer, so I just went around doing random stuff waiting for it to hatch. The most epic moment with that egg was when it hatched right before the final gym battle. The whole time I was praying for a Zorua, but when it came out as a Larvesta, I was all like "wtf is this?" I considered putting it in my box, but after thinking for a while, I gave it a chance at life and decided to train it from birth...
...Little did I know that it would evolve into a Sun God and become one of my favorite pokemon.
The only ones I used were both in Platinum. Believe it or not, Togekiss made an amazing Flying-type.
All of them I just hatched and evolved to their final form. I've never used any Pokemon given as an egg in my team.
I usually just hatch them, then train them a little, then box them eventually and forget about them.
Although I am doing a Nuzlocke on HG right now, and I killed the Togepi and had to release it :(
Made an Omelet :3 XD
Nah, on a more serious note, I tend not to use them. Togepi was meh. Still didnt use it though
Kudos to Neodark for the best banner! AWESOME job!
I mostly just hatch them then box them. Exceptions being Togepi which I've used several times during various playthroughs of G/S/C/HG/SS respectively and the odd egg recieved from the daycare couple in crystal that hatches into a baby pokemon, mine hatched into a shiny Pichu, which I used and raised in game to be a Raichu.

Editors' note: This story was written by staff writers Alaina Potrikus, Sarah Moses and Catie O'Toole.
Three weeks ago, David L. Trebilcock asked a coworker if he could take a break during his shift at Rome Nursing Home.
When his coworker, Heather Fox, went outside a few minutes later, she found him sitting in a chair, looking lost.
"He said he had been seeing demons at night," she said.
She brushed it off at the time, suggesting he get some sleep. Now, she wonders if the conversation was a sign of a mental breakdown.
On Tuesday, Trebilcock's girlfriend, Allison Belius, awoke to the sounds of her 6-year-old twins Erica and Lauren screaming. She found the door to their bedroom barricaded with a dresser and pushed past it to find her boyfriend stabbing Lauren with a kitchen-style steak knife, state police said.
Allison Belius, 36, tried to stop Trebilcock, suffering cuts herself. Trebilcock then turned the knife on himself, cutting his own wrists and stabbing himself in the chest.
Trebilcock, 30, will face second-degree murder charges for the death of Lauren Belius after his release from St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Utica.
State police said they have found no history of mental health issues for Trebilcock that might have predicted his behavior.
Police said they had never been to the Primo Avenue home until Tuesday. Trebilcock had no local criminal history, according to state police. He was once arrested in Dade County, Fla. in 2000 when he was ticketed for possession of marijuana at age 19.
For grieving family and friends, more questions remain unanswered, but a few more details are emerging.
The day after her daughter's death, Allison Belius reached out to Robert Scribner, owner and instructor at S&S School of Martial Arts in Sherrill.
"thank u for teaching me to protect myself or it would have been my whole family," she wrote on Scribner's Facebook wall. "i just wish i could have hurt him before he hurt my baby."
Allison Belius, her daughters and her 9-year-old son, Nolan, attended Tae kwon do and self-defense classes regularly for the last six months, Scribner said.
They took the class — along with Trebilcock — four nights a week.
Scribner said if Allison Belius or the children feared Trebilcock or anyone else, it was never brought to his attention. He said he didn't have any concerns and was shocked when he learned what happened.
"When they were here, there were no concerns," Scribner said.
Trebilcock was always attentive and willing to learn, and gave 100 percent, Scribner said. He never noticed anything out of the ordinary.
"Everybody in Sherrill is shocked," Scribner said. "Nobody here expected it, but who would?"
Fox, worked with Trebilcock in the 80-bed nursing home on Floyd Avenue for about two years, said he was well-liked by patients and coworkers. Officials at the home would not comment on his employment.
"No one ever had anything bad to say about him," she said.
Trebilcock was somewhat of an anomaly in the small community of Sherrill, where many neighbors regularly greet one another by first name.
Neighbors on Primo Avenue, where the Belius family lives, said they had seen the children playing in the front yard. The girls were particularly memorable — twin blond sisters who loved to dance and turn cartwheels in the driveway.
But neighbors remembered less about Trebilcock, although he lived there for more than a year.
Lauren's father, John Belius, said he didn't know much about Trebilcock. He said he was extremely upset when Trebilcock moved into his wife's home, but didn't complain because he was worried that he would risk being able to see his children
"No one knew him or knew anything about him," John Belius said. "I asked around, but I couldn't find out anything on him."
John Belius said he rarely spoke to Trebilcock and when he did it was just a "hello" or "hi." He said Trebilcock would grin at him but never speak to him. He described him as shy and quiet. At family functions, Allison Belius and Trebilcock kept mostly to themselves, he said.
"All I know is he played a lot of video games and collected Pokemon cards," John Belius said.
John Belius said he would always talk to his children about their mother's boyfriend.
"I always asked the girls if he was nice to them and if he was nice to mommy," he said. "I asked the questions because I wanted to see if there were any signs of abuse. But there was nothing."
John Belius said he has joint custody of the children and has them three days a week. The couple married in August 2001 and separated about a year and a half ago, he said.
"I moved to Sherrill to give them a safe place to live where they would be surrounded by neighbors who were doctors and lawyers in one of the safest, best cities in New York," John Belius said. "And a monster inside their home hurts them."
John Belius said Lauren had asked him a while ago if monsters were real.
"I told her no, but they are real," he said. "They just don't look like Frankenstein or monsters on TV."
John Belius said he doesn't just want justice, he wants the right justice.
"I want him to put in a prison where people are put that kill little girls," he said. "There is nothing worse than taking the life of a little girl.
"He deserves to be in prison and no where else," Belius said. "Then God will punish him."

Children's Hospital Hosts Senate Committee to Hear Testimony on Orie Bill Aimed at Helping Pregnant Women Stop Smoking
Pittsburgh, Pa. -
September 9, 2004
The State Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee will hold a public hearing on Monday at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to hear testimony on legislation to promote programs aimed at helping pregnant women stop smoking.
The hearing will be held on Monday, Sept. 13, 2004, from 10 a.m. until noon in the B-Level Conference Center at Children's. The media and public are invited to attend.
Committee members will hear testimony on a bill sponsored by Senator Jane Orie (R-Allegheny) that would establish new Maternal Smoking Cessation and Prevention Programs within the state Department of Health (DOH). Senate Bill 833 is currently being considered by the committee. Orie said the programs are intended to provide educational materials on the dangers and lasting harm caused by smoking during pregnancy.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more susceptible to crib death (sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS), inner ear disease, exacerbation of asthma conditions and hospitalizations.
Deborah Moss, MD, a pediatrician in the Division of General Academic Pediatrics at Children's, will testify. Dr. Moss, who is a national expert on pediatric tobacco issues and works with parents to help them quit smoking, is scheduled to testify between 10 and 10:30 a.m.
Orie's bill would direct the DOH to establish smoking cessation and prevention programs with revenues appropriated from the Tobacco Settlement Fund. In addition, the DOH would be required to provide retailers with educational materials on the specific harms to the infant caused by maternal smoking and resources available to help the mother stop smoking. Retailers would be required to prominently display these materials in areas where cigarettes are sold.
"Despite public research, while many women are aware of the relationship between smoking and premature birth and low birth weight, many do not know the specific and lasting harm that may be caused by smoking during pregnancy," Orie said. "A recent study found that reducing smoking by one percentage point in the United States over seven years would prevent 57,200 low birth weights in infants and save $572 million in direct medical costs. Stopping maternal smoking can save lives ad help to ensure that more babies are born healthy."
